I'm going to try to make it for the LAST TIME

...My time in Great Lakes is over, and we're moving back to San Diego September 1st.

I'm going to plan on and really try to make it to Tall Corn, but I am 90% certain that I'm going to TTORA TakeOver in Kentucky, so we'll have to see how it looks as it gets closer with regards to budgeting. I doubt fuel is going to get any cheaper as we get further into the Summer.

How is the weather going to be this year?

You'll be missed Jamie. It has been a pleasure knowing you. Take care and have fun in Cali.

You know Wade - Moab is only like 9 hours from San Diego (as opposed to 26 hours from Chicago), so when ever you Iowa boys get a hair across your butt to go to Moab, I'll see you THERE!

I'm just moving - I ain't dying!

good morning guys.

I am trying to get a buddie back into 4wheeling and all that jazz, but he drives a jeep cheroke. So do you think he could attend this event? I know it is a TLCA thing, but ......

anyway thanks for the time cheers

 

[CRAW]

What hotels are you all familiar with in the area? I don't do the camping thing when it's hot as h*ll!

 

[packman73]

I've never stayed in a hotel down in that area, but google says there are a bunch of hotels in that area.

hotel loc: Knoxville, IA - Google Maps

Hope this helps!

 

[Doc]

he drives a jeep cheroke. So do you think he could attend this event?

As last year, he can attend as your 'guest'. He still has to register and pay.

I believe this is what we decided again. Contact Art for the specifics.

So what do you all consider HOT Just trying to get a feel for what to expect. also I will be packing light but bringing my camp stove and such, Do you have a day or night when you offer breakfast or dinner ? Whats the closest town I could shop in ? do they charge for showers ? any information will be great, just trying to strech the budget. I looked at the camp site web site but there was limited information. Thanks Rob

 

[Doc]

In Iowa, F'n HOT= anything over 85 degrees. It's not the heat that kills you- it's our humidity.

We are trying to get a local grocery place to 'sponsor' a dinner one night- we have yet to hammer out all the details. Closest 'town' is Lovilla- 5 minutes south (pretty much just a gas station convenience store). Closest town with an actual grocery store will be Knoxville- about 10 miles?

No charge for showers on site.

I'm actually considering trying to get a hotel close by this time for the heat/ humidity reasons. I was not raised in this weather and anything over 80 just gets really uncomfortable really fast. Plus, I'll be bringing the co-pilot again this year and he doesn't handle the heat very well either.

Clarification:
Only Tall Corn Cruiser members (prior to Memorial Day 08) are allowed to invite one non-Toyota vehicle/guest to the event.

 

[Doc]

If'n he needs a 'sponsor' My invite slot is open.... for a fee!

J/k- let me know if I need to 'invite' him.

Thanks Doc, today here in So Calif. we expect it to get 106 degrees but its a dry heat. Thanks for the heads up in the store last thing I want to do is get stuck without food and drink Well things are coming together looks like i have places to stay and the trucks getting a once over before I leave between my son and I it should be ready. I will try to get the form filled out and mailed in Still working out the cash flow , Please put me down for 2 2X shirts even though it looks like I will be making the trip solo always nice to have an extra ( for bragging rights ) LOL

 

[wadentrisha]

Is the FJC Trail Team not doing a BBQ this year? Do I need to bring my turkey fryer for sweet corn again? Art? Doc?

 

[Doc]

No FJC trail team this year. Woody will be there, however.

 

[packman73]

We are working on possible dinner plans for Saturday night. More to come on that.
